Dave 61.62% Peter 60.25% Ian 56.05% Doddy 46.67% Fred 42.62%
Steve 42.06% Papa 39.62% Colin 35.71% Malc 34.62% Mike D 34.55%

Steve, Colin and Fred arrived a few minutes early so we sat around and had a chat, then we realised that the four of us were there and we were not waiting for Jelly Arm! So we dived in the hut, cranked up the ‘pickometer’ and were instructed to play Pete and Colin ‘v’ Steve and Fred.

Pete and Colin took the honours with a 4 - 2 win, the score order was PC 1245 / 36 SF.

Three of the games were walkovers, Steve and Fred did the walking on two of them, Colin and Pete on the other one. One of Steve and Fred’s was extremely convincing by the time they had both had their first round they scored a treble 20, treble 18 and racked up around 100 in score. Sadly Colin and I didn’t have any snappy replies and we were up against it from the start.

We all played reasonably but none of us were outstanding; although it has to be said that Steve turned out some consistently workman type darts on the 10 / 15’s all night; making Colin and I have to regularly leave our targets to try and sort them out.

Notable events:

As Ian wasn’t in residence virtually all the games reverted to high score rather than bull starts. Perhaps we should call this the ‘Rushton effect’?

*Adopts Churchillian voice* “Never in the field of Bad Boys conflict has one player changed the tactics of so many!”

Fred scored a treble 20 with his first dart in the opening turn of 2 games.

The OUF ‘Order of the…’ was nearly won by two different players!

Chart Changes:

Yay for Colin! He moves up two places from bottom position to 8th Place. That is now two consecutive outings that he has upped his game in; is this the start of a new trend?

Bullmeister Wars:

Having said only last night that we would start keeping records of bulls (reds only) scored in an evening, tonight was immediately hotly contested! Both Steve and I had four reds apiece, not bad going!

However just to juice things up a bit I think I am right in saying (and I am open to correction by those with better memories) I think I just might have set a Bad Boys record… I managed 2 x Red and 1 x Green in the same turn. So lads, to beat that some bugger is going to have to get the full monty.. 3 x Red. This of course would earn you the Bad Boys - OBE!

GAME ON!
